Luskos (culture)
The Luskos are shrewd merchants and experienced caravaneers, making immense fortunes by facilitating the Kherkeloi Tin Trade and serving as trackers and scouts of the Kalassyan Valley. Vast tracts of wilderness are partitioned among Luskos families; each granted exclusive rights to guide caravans through their territory before passing them to another family. Their fees may be extortionate, but wise traders know to pay them in full, lest they may suffer coincidental attacks by the nearby Urkarith raiders.
